The black box theatre is a concept that became popular in the 1960's among artists who could not afford to rent stages and theatres for their practices or performances. So to solve this problem, suitable spaces were transformed into performance venues for entertainment. Although a black box theatre can come to life in any building, abandoned warehouses and shops are common locales for pop-up performance venues. A black box theatre typically consists of a large performance space surrounded by seats. Throughout the 21st Century the black box theatre concept has grown in popularity and is now considered to be the place where true art and human performance shines away from technology and special effects. A black box theatre, often run by artists, students, and devoted performers, is created on a limited or non-existent budget.
Although a black box theatre organizer is often working on a budget, they still want to get comfortable seating options for their devoted audience. For this reason, ComforTek has designed a special line of black box chairs, offering comfort and style at affordable prices. Please browse our selection below:
